Estelle Cormet‐Boyaka

Estelle Cormet-Boyaka's research centers on cystic fibrosis (CF), a genetic disease caused by mutations in the CFTR protein that disrupts salt and fluid movement in the lungs and gut, and how this and related gene defects affect immune responses and gut/lung health. Her lab studies gene and cell therapy approaches to correct CFTR mutations, how immune cells (like Paneth cells and neutrophils) and gut bacteria interact with disease processes, and how environmental exposures such as cigarette smoke, e-cigarettes, and heavy metals (like cadmium) affect airway and gut health. This work bridges basic immunology, respiratory disease, and toxicology with translational goals for CF and related conditions.

Publication output grew steadily from 2017 through a peak in 2022, then declined and has since stabilized at a lower but consistent rate through 2025.
